May Day Action for Everyone
May Day is the International Workers Day. In celebrating this day, VUWSA is promoting the general theme of "Liberation". Liberation from (1) capitalism (2) knowledgism (3) imperialism (4) racism (5) sexism. You may ask why pick on these five isms' and what connection they have to each other.
Well, it has been rich, well-educated, imperialistic, European males that have got the world into the mess it is in now!
"And it was necessary that the factories and the universities should meet, in order that the universities might bring to the factories their technical knowledge and their intellect and that the production centres—the factories—might bring to the universities their working class spirit".
—Fidel Castro
The intellectuals often tend to be subjective and individualistic, impractical in their thinking and irresolute in action until they have thrown themselves heart and soul into mass revolutionary struggles, or make up their minds to serve the interests of the masses and become one with them.
—Mao Tsetung
